A delicious haven of diarrhea inducing goodness. Also, I would totally have consensual missionary position sex with you.
 
Those be cookies my friend. Just as much as chocolate chip cookies are cookies.


Oh and English Muffins are something also completely different from biscuits in case anyone brings up the name English Muffin.
 
Lmao , my old food tech teacher (back when we had to do it) used to say that scones are "sweet and savoury" all the time... Silly old bastard.
 
They're neutral... to be determined by topping! Whether you spread jam or butter.

And so we have narrowed it down. You call cookies biscuits, and you call biscuits scones.

Crazy British English. You may have invented it, but we've perfected it!
 
This thread is making me extremely hungry for biscuits and gravy.
 
Doesn't matter, cause it's all good man. Gravy is the one thing I will never put on a biscuit though.

Have you actually had Biscuits and Gravy gravy though? It's a white gravy made from sausages. It's damned good!

It's not the same as gravy you might put on mashed potatoes(which British people probably call something weird like Air Puffed Taters).

Potatoes, Potatoes, Potatoes?

That so-called "gravy" looks more like it's made with mushrooms to me.
And we call mashed potatoes mashed potatoes.

(Which reminds me of something I heard on radio comedy show, Parson and naylor's Pull-Out Section. It was cockney rhymming slang for cold: taters. Which comes from potatoes, which comes from potatoes in the mold = cold.

Rednecks say taters. Therefore, you're a bunch of gun toting cousin banging dick mongers.
 
Cept its really , really hard for us to get guns here - wait a second... no its not...
 
If you call potatoes taters, and you aren't joking, I will never associate with you again. It's contagious, and I don't want to catch a bad case of redneck.

Also, I prefer dark gravy, like turkey gravy.
 
I kind of wish I'd never brought up the cockney rhymming slang thing now!!!

I said REDNECKS call them taters you dumb****.

I love you so much.
 
But I want chocolate chip cookie so badly! *starts to reach for cookie*
 
Yes it is, because they're COOKIES! Not Biscuits!

Wikipedia said:
In the UK, a "cookie" is only usually used as part of the name of a specific type of softer, chewier biscuit e.g. the "chocolate chip cookie".

BAM!


Crazy British... calling a chocolate chip cookie a cookie, and calling say... a crispier peanut butter cookie a biscuit! CRAZY CRAZY!
 
Ah, yes, but Wikipedia is American so it would say that.
Going to bed now, anyways. Got to get up for a hospital appointment tomorrow. Night night!
 
So F**king bias , we should boycot wikipedia by vandalizing everything.
 
Wikipedia is actually not any nation centric.

Users are global, and you'll find many articles in American English, and many in British English.

I just love pointing out the silliness I see in differences between British and American words to describe things... and I constantly bring it up on these forums.

And of course I'm completely biased, as we all are!

You know what I find funny and great?

Wikipedia has a page "Why wikipedia is not so great" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_Wikipedia_is_not_so_great

You'll never find such a page on a stupid imitation site like Conservapedia.



On an unrelated note... I am sooo tired today. I got tons of sleep yesterday, way too much(17 hours, I literally could not wake myself up... something must be wrong with me), and today I am dead sleepy, thinking about taking a nap which will probably result in a full 10 hour sleep against my will.

I need to keep studying for my GED, take the ****ing thing, and then start back with programming! I really really really want to read this Regular Expressions book, but I can't convince myself to do it yet, so I don't cram useless information into my head that won't help me with the GED! It'll only be useful once I do programming.
 
Uh , i actually already knew that , i just wanted to vandalise something.
